One of the first decent days we have had here in central Scotland this year so fired up the pizza oven.
this was prepared for dinner but never got to dessert time - its past tense nowā¦
daughter bakes cakes and for her age she did well
used over ripe bananas - which nobody would eat due to over-ripeness
used some left over bread
some walnuts on top
and the art of baking a cakeā¦
As a family and in these lockdown timesā¦we are getting back to when we had lessā¦
make use of everything and reduce food waste to zero if possible
I could eat pizza ā8 days a weekā. That looks terrific.

Pasta alla vongole. Fortunately there has been no panic buying of clams round here.
Winter sausage stew again ā¦ but with different sausages than normal. I donāt hold out much hope ā¦
Roast chicken, with Jamaican jerk spice, done in a chicken brick, which I find guarantees tasty, moist chicken, together with hasselback potatoes ā¦ yum.
RƓti de pangolin aux lƩgumes de saison.
No, no, no and thrice no!
What is āpangolin ā ?
Cute, scaly mammals - think anteater with scales not spines.
I recall having a Panini sticker book on āmammalsā as a youngster with 400 stickers - the pangolins were some of the most memorable stickers.
Sadly seen as exotic meat in China I believe (?) and/or scales used in Chinese medicine.
āThe pangolin is one of the most critically endangered species on the planet. It is the most trafficked animal in the world, with its scales highly sought in traditional Chinese medicine.ā from:
Interestingly I wonder how much it did fetch.
I believe I have a complete one along with FIFA 1978.
Donāt think this is the Panini one but a 1967 card or sticker:
Donāt forget fried bats too. Bats are apparently at the origin of Covid 19, and pangolins the hosts.
We risk putting people off their dinner!
Not at that time, apart perhaps Australia and New Zealand. Forget these images Pete and Mike
I never want to see a bat on a plate again , and as for the eating a panini I canāt imagine Iād ever be that hungry.
Same here.
Letās keep endangered animals off the menu on this thread please
Roast (BOQād actually) beef, baked potatoes and and BOQād asparagus with a mushroom gravy. So English.
Tonight Iām having Bubble&S from a left over dinner with a couple of over easy fried eggs and 3 spicy Andouille sausages ā¦ some crispy Cuban bread and a large goblet of Merlot. A meal for a king; or maybe a minor noble.
Itās the asparagus season, but for me that means gout. One way to prevent it is to eat black beans. They are mixed with chickpeas, tomatoes, coriander, cumin and chilli, with a grating of turmeric. Served the aforesaid asparagus and new potatoes (Majorca not Cornish as I had hoped).
Potato gratin with raclette, compt and cheddar and pan roasted chicken cooked with olive oil, salt, pepper
Barbecue in the garden earlier with the rest of the household. First this year.
